Question Guys!

I need some help with tyres here. Wife's new beetle gonna be here next month and she's getting 17s for the car, so obviously she'll need tyres. What would you recommend?

Model Noise Wear Price Grip TOTAL

RE001 2 2 1 2 7

KU31 3 3 3 2 11

KU36 2 1 2 3 8

595 SS 3 3 3 2 11

595 Evo 2 2 2 3 9

Size that I'm getting is 215/45/17 and judging from the price I've got here, KU31 (option1, cheapest) and SS (ERD, cheapest) are the best compromise between noise/price/wear. What are your thoughts?

Get the SS. I've got no complaints on mine. Brilliant everyday tyre.

Brandon... I'd recommend Linglongs.

LINGLONGS FTW!

is it the turbo beetle or na?

I'd go for 595s or 535s respecitvely... if I wasn't buying Linglongs that is!!

chinese/taiwanese

SAME SAME BUT DIFFERENT LAH!

[Beelzebub89]

AWD Helicopters ftw.

Depends on what the mood of the day is and where you go for skidpan love.

[Isola]

is it a 300kw beetle?

[Brandon]

Ok, I'm just gonna ignore the rest.

Colin: yea thats what I thought too but dont know if noise will be an issue. KU31 is cheaper so its a tough 1.

[Brandon]

FAIL

Taiwanese uses "MEH" for that sentence, Chinese uses "BEH" and Singapore/Malaysia uses "LAH"... Talk about multi-cultural...

[Redsuns88]

Foot in everycamp!

should of asked at the tech night

I gave you a normal answer as well. the 59s and the 53s are both quiet. I've been in Colin's car when he's been giving it some and the only time we noticed the tyres was when they squealed a little on a corner or two.

The 53s I had on the Capri for ages and are also great.

pulling a fuse boy?

u cant in 33's

[Beelzebub89]

Come for a spin in mine on thursday and you can see what the noise is like. It doesn't bother me there are a lot of things that are noisier in my car than the tyres.

[Brandon]

is it a 300kw beetle?

Nope but its actually around 75kW if you wanna know. The last beetle before the new facelift thats coming soon.

[Beelzebub89]

think he was referring to me.

Yeh tristan does that a lot, when he says vagina he means dick, etc.

Thats the exact reason why I'm asking. I cbf about the noise on mine as the exhaust will be louder but on her beetle its different. The CR KAI I sold to my friend had some ling longs on them (cheapass) and I didnt know they're noisy until he put them on his cefiro. Its very annoying to hear thats for sure, sounds like bee buzzing.

John: its the actual tyre being noisy and not from lost of traction etc. Generally better gripping tyres are noiser than lesser gripping ones. And thats why I'm checking whats the best compromise between them.

[Redsuns88]

he actually knows that but he was commenting on it.. generally the 595 are quiet depending...

just get the luxary kumho's

To be fair though, I love all things Volkswagen and have owned two beetles, and did my driving test in a new beetle. They are great cars and go pretty hard. The federals will increase the handling on it, but I would also look at suspension, it's pretty soft, and can affect cornering a bit. I'd just go with 535s though, for an NA Beetle. I would have used 595s on the turbo version.

Obviously your call, but my input as a Volkswagen and federal user
